Somewhere

out there somewhere

you are falling through space

your heart is shattering under the pressure

of this explosion

hope lived in you

because you are a dreamer

but so often these dreams they turned to dust

and the taste of dry sand nearly choked you

my heart is aching for you

but the truth is I lack the power

to fix this

and the knowing is so deeply painful to me

all I can do

is long

to be free

but where is my escape

if yours, the heart i truly love

continues to ache?

for constantly

your presence

flits

on the edges of my consciousness

like a trapped butterfly

desperately dancing behind

darkened glass
